How to Change the Input on a LG TV

If you’ve just bought a new LG TV after using a TV of a different brand, it may take a while to figure out all its options. However, once you get used to it you can enjoy all the fantastic features that LG smart TVs offer. Not only can you install various apps, but you can also connect it to multiple other devices and stream your favorite content on it.

In this article, we’ll explain how to change the input on your LG TV. We’ll also share some tips with you that will help you get the most out of your new TV.

Changing the Input

One of the most common questions is if it’s possible to change the input on an LG TV without using a remote control. Unfortunately, for now, it’s not possible to do this. That’s why we’ll show you the quickest way to change the input on your TV with your remote control.

1. Turn on your LG TV and open Home Screen.
2. Open the Inputs menu on the top right corner, using your remote control.
3. You’ll now see a list of all connected devices.
4. Select the input you want to use.
5. Confirm.

That’s it! Now when you know what you have to do, you’ll be able to switch from one input to another in just a few seconds in future.

What If I Don’t See My Device on the List?

Is there anything worse than opening the Inputs list and seeing all sources except the one you need at that moment? If this has happened to you, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. It doesn’t mean that your LG TV isn’t functioning. It usually just means that the source or the device isn’t correctly connected to your TV.

Therefore, first, make sure that your device and TV are connected. You should also check whether the device is charged or you need to plug it in. You could also reset your device if necessary. Finally, don’t forget to turn it on (it sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people forget to do this).

Now, open the Inputs menu again. If you did everything correctly, your TV should now recognize the external device. Some LG TVs also have an AutoDetect feature on their menus, so you can try that as well. If you still don’t see your device, you may need to contact customer support for help.

How to Remove an Input I No Longer Use?

If you’ve connected various sources and devices to your LG TV, the Input menu can become confusing after a while. If you no longer use a particular input, it may be a good idea to remove it from the Input list. Here’s how you can do so:

1. Turn on your LG TV and open Home Screen.
2. Open the Inputs menu on the top right corner, using your remote control.
3. Select the input you no longer use.

That’s it! Don’t hesitate to remove inputs that you no longer use. It feels so good, just like when you declutter your home. Remember, if you ever change your mind, you can always connect that input to your LG TV again.
